The learners had six activities to choose from to extend their knowledge about Space. Shreya, Saniya and Disha chose to take part in one that required problem solving and thinking skills. They had the option to make either a Mars Rover or a Satellite and picked to do the Satellite. With the provided materials, they had to create their own version of the image that was shown on the screen. Shreya, Saniya and Disha showed curiosity by using the materials in specific ways and tried to use as much detail as possible in their creation.

Worm Farm Narrative Assessment

Learner: Shreya, Nanami, Irene, Sereya, Alysia and Yuvika Learning Coach: Mr Hattie            Date: 23 February 2016

Learning Area: iExperience - Worm Farming

Learning Observed

In Learning Habitat 1 this term we have been discussing sustainability. Our group has been looking at recycling, mainly worm farming and decomposition. This has been a new aspect that we have introduced and the learners have taken a real interest in it. During the lesson the learners were put into groups and we were investigating and exploring the worms habitat. The learners had to locate certain aspects of the worm farm. This involved analysing worms and the soil that they call their home. The learners had to use their Curiosity to come up with questions about the worms habitat.  They were showing their Capabilities to be able to identify and locate the specific items of the habitat that we have learnt about. This was a group task so Collaboration and Relating to Others were being shown. Sereya, Yuvika and Alysia were in charge of identifying the different eggs that they find. Delcy and her group were in charge of finding what materials were eaten the most. Shreya and Nanami’s group were to find the most common place they worms were hiding. Irene was helping to find the items that were not decomposing as quickly as the others. They were each reporting back to the larger group.

Evidence of learning

Learners are working together to analyse the worm farm. They all reported back to their group.

Next Learning Steps

Shreya, Nanami, Irene, Sereya, Alysia, Delcy and Yuvika’s next learning steps are to: classify the different items and organic material they found. Discuss and explain the process in which the worms express the worm tea. show evidence of their learning.

Learner:   Shreya      Learning Coach:   Luisa Maloni            Date: 4th September, 2015

Learning Area: iExplore: Visual Art: Cubism

Learning Observed

We have been learning about the art movement Cubism. We have looked at many examples of cubism and have created our own studies using the cubist style. Shreya used the elements of shape and fracture to create a study of a tree and a painting. She pushed these ideas further by adding pattern and texture in her painting. She then looked at images on the internet to choose an artistic exemplar she was interested in trying. Shreya chose an image of a heart and then created her own study using ideas from her artistic exemplar. She experiments with  a range of pattern, colour shades and line.

Evidence of learning

Shreya uses an artistic exemplar to explore ideas about Cubism. She shows a real talent and commitment in the Visual Arts! I can’t wait to see her final work!
